Yo DaVItans.
Finally a good strong exercise session!
I have what I call my Sweet Sixteen workout. 20 to 30 minutes on the lifecycle with good intensity, 3 sets of bench-press, 3 sets of curls, 3 sets of 30 second deep knee bends, and 3 sets of toe raises, plus other misc stretches and a set of sit-ups. 16 activities.
Yesterday (Thursday) I did the Sweet Sixteen and a couple extra things as well. 55 minutes of wonderful purging of toxins, stress, thinking about work, etc!
Plus only one diet coke. Reasonable eating altho I did have some cake for dessert. And 7 wonderful hours of sleep.
Today I am racing to try to get a bunch of email done, since this is an IT maintenance weekend and there will be no access to email for corporate for most of the weekend. Typically weekends and long plane flights are my email catch-up time, and I am quite behind right now because of some work and personal stuff. But I still have a bit of a glow because of yesterday’s Sweet Sixteen Plus, and the fact that I know I will get exercise Friday night before dinner.
It was a good Voice of the Village call on Wednesday, by the way. About 2800 teammates on the line. We thought we did a good crisp set of up-dates, and then there were some good questions. We did a lousy job on one answer, but overall a good exchange.
Life’s rich pageant. One for All.

Hey,I am so happy to have been able to join the “MATCH THE MAYOR” program. I missed out last time. Since then I had open heart surgery to replace an aorta valve at the end of May. Once Cardiac Rehab was through, I reluctantly continued exercise doing Aqua Aerobics. There were days at the time of the “Match the Mayor” start up that I felt like I didn’t want to go and exercise. I’d miss 1 or 2 sessions. Since I have been reading the Mayors blog it has inspired me to keep it up. I hear him in the back of my mind to park further at the grocery store, to take the stairs instead of the elevator. To walk instead of taking the car. To go to aqua aerobics instead of missing a session. It has helped me a lot. It might be all in my head but, it helps me lose the pounds for my heart. Because of my new valve being “porcine” (pig). I will be the lovely “Miss Piggy for Halloween when we dress up for our patients. Happy treating !
